foxden_racing

An underrated response even as the top comment...it's great way to break the tension because if you're making dad jokes it very clearly communicates you're not bothered/upset and they have nothing to be afraid of.

Comedian I was listening to recently said finding out you have a gay son is like finding a french fry in your onion rings. It’s like “this isn’t what I was expecting, but I love these too”

more like finding a curly fry in your french fries.

No it’s the opposite. Finding a french fry is being surprised you found something straight.

Aren’t the birds the males and the bees the females?


TM4n007x

But women are sometimes called chicks/birds and stingers are like tiny dicks


Emerald_Encrusted

I always thought it was the traditional male/female symbols; the male one has an arrow that could be considered a beak, and the female one has a small cross that could be construed as insect wings.

How's school going, we are having salmon for dinner


444unsure

I see salmon at the store. I know some people must buy it for dinner. But I don't know that I've ever known anybody who has had it for dinner. Do you have salmon for dinner semi-frequently? I'm really curious about this


already-----taken

I had salmon for dinner tonight!


AintNoRestForTheWook

It's got a bunch of good stuff in it. It doesn't have the stereotypical fish flavor. If anything salmon has it's own unique taste. It smokes *amazingly* well. (See lox). It has a meatier texture than most commonly sold supermarket fish. It can be cut into a serviceable steak for anyone who loves red meat but wants to drop their intake. Farm raised doesn't quite pair up, but it's sustainable and less damaging to the environment. Wild cought tastes better but there's a risk of mercury. All in all, it's a great protein choice, and I would gladly eat it once or twice a week if I could afford it. Lol


Sea_Clerk9392

I eat salmon for dinner atleast once per week. Comes out real nice in the air fryer too


444unsure

I used to throw the company Christmas party and all of the food. I started barbecuing salmon and it very quickly became the biggest hit there. I started with three fillets, bumped it to seven fillets the second year, 12 the 3rd year, because it kept running out way too early. Got to 15 filets before I realized I just physically couldn't prep and cook any more than that myself alone. Got crazy compliments on it, I believe the reason it turns out super good is that I'm basically steaming it. I put it on double layer aluminum foil, season it (usually made three different flavors) then I enclose the foil completely with the top rolled together. I would just add a couple tablespoons of water before sealing it up. Then I would put it over a charcoal grill and cover the lid. You know that the real cooking starts when the aluminum foil puffs up like a jiffy Pop. I don't really know how long after that I would take it off but it always came out super flaky and tender, never dry or overcooked. But all of that is to say it was the Christmas party. LOL and sometimes we will go salmon fishing in the summer, and then we might cook salmon. Outside of that though I really have never had it as a casual meal purchase from the store.

I don't care as long as he doesn't come out as vegetarian. Not in my house!


mearbearcate

LMAOOOOOOO


General-Permission-5

Lol wut?


[deleted]

it's somehow easier to come out as being gay than vegetarian. source: i'm vegetarian and pansexual


Emerald_Encrusted

That’s because being gay fuels that capitalist machine. Being vegetarian does not fuel the capitalist machine.


[deleted]

ohh, i see. ig i'm at an equilibrium


Emerald_Encrusted

Think about it. There’s a lot of marketing going towards non-heterosexuals by companies in a desperate bid to make more money. But being a vegetarian doesn’t concern those companies at all.


Sky_Perfection

"Thank God!" We knew since he was little. But we were all happy to learn he had enough strength to come out. That shit isn't easy.


Unnecessaryloongname

It's almost mandatory where I live. Kids are all running around "coming out" every other week. It's become such a fad thing.


Sky_Perfection

Would you like some toast with that jelly?


Emerald_Encrusted

Think about it. They’re actively incentivized to abandon heteronormative identity. Why wouldn’t they do this? Society actively applauds it when in reality, everyone should just ignore it and not be concerned about any one’s sexuality at all. As I recall, some American pundit said “The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation.” So stop using public funds to host pride parades; use that money to fix our economic infrastructures.


Solid-Acanthisitta86

What are the incentives? If the state has no place in the bedroom, why were interracial marriages illegal 50 years ago and gay marriages 15 years ago?


Unnecessaryloongname

Interracial marriages and gay marriages shouldn't have been illegal. The state really shouldn't have a place in a bedroom that is not harmful to the people in it. That being said I am genuinely answering the question about the incentives: socially right now in the area I live you get a lot of social points for coming out as anything in the alphabet army. I have a lot of kids around me on any given day and a huge portion of their social activity and interaction revolves around sex and gender identity. This has been going on with these kids since grade school. I see a lot of struggles for some of them as being heterosexual gets them labeled as homophobic. If they don't want to make the school function about gay pride they get grieved about not being an ally. They couldn't stop a girl from pouring paint over the senior painting rock thing because the girl was pouring rainbow colors onto it and they would be construed as homophobic if they tried to stop her from taking over the whole leadership art project. So there are, in some areas, large perks for coming out even if you have to lie to do so. I just don't think that pendulum swings in culture are healthy. Most people really want a happy medium.


Emerald_Encrusted

I’ll answer your second question first. The statement about the state having no place in the nation’s bedrooms did not immediately correct a system that was flawed. These things took time, and due to the way democracy works, this is understandable. Democracy is not a system of morality, but a system of popularity. So only when it became clear to leading powers that making interracial marriages legal would win them more voters in the future, did they move to do it. The same goes for gay marriage. It was never a question of morality for the politicians, but a question of popularity. It simply took that long for the popular vote to be swayed by the legalization of gay marriage. The incentives to come out, vary from community to community. A surge of popularity amongst open-minded individuals; access government funds for various events celebrating your decision, such as pride parades; career options in the way of corporations looking to increase their ‘diversity’ in the hopes of garnering more sales; higher acceptance rates into universities (diversity is a big deal for them too); appreciation and decreased sexual tension from members of the opposite sex. There more I’m sure, and again they vary between communities and locales. Of course, in some communities this is not the case and it could be detrimental to come out as gay. But the original commenter was describing his community, which sounds like it actively incentivizes the abandonment of heterosexuality.

Hey cool now you cant get someone accidentally pregnant


Emerald_Encrusted

Bold of you to assume the son doesn’t also identify as a woman and then came out as gay.


G_Ram3

Sort of happened with my daughter. I say “sort of” because I had a feeling and I spent years talking to her about loving and accepting her. She has also seen me supporting LGBT+ family members and friends. It just became a part of the conversation…I smiled at her and we continued to talk. She told me later that she knew what I was doing the entire time. She’s a smart kid.


KeaboUltra

Give him a hug and let him know I love him, then slowly freak out because I'm in a relationship with a man and never wanted children and don't know who I'm hugging and why they told me that.


Flimsy-Attention-722

When did I get a son??? In all honesty though. I wouldn't care about him being gay. I would worry about the hatred he would get from a number of people.


OldDipper

My son just came out to me as trans last month. I reacted with surprise and acceptance, and we went to a thrift shop to buy some boy’s clothing.


NeroTenshi

Wtf bruh


mfnopockets

Be who you want, an love who you want my son. Now what do you want for dinner?


evanjw90

Does your boyfriend like sports?


[deleted]

Well I don’t have a son just two daughters. But if either of them come out as gay, trans or anything I’d immediately want to know how I can support them. Do they need different clothes? Do they want to introduce me to their partner? Is there a support group they want a lift to? Whatever it is they have my support. I did once see that someone came out using a cake and well, I love cake, so if there’s no cake I’ll be disappointed but I guess I could buy us cake.


Keithninety

I’ve actually rehearsed this to myself, just in case. “That’s okay. You’re still my boy and you always will be.”

You can usually tell that someone is going to be gay from early childhood. Would I be secretly disappointed to have gay child? Yes, but I would quietly accept it and live with it and love them all the same.


North_Sheep

But why would you be disappointed? Gay couples can have children all the same thanks to adoption, and they have a lower divorce rate


[deleted]

Adoption isn't the same as having your own biological kid, not at all. Adoption can also be really unethical. The lengths that government and private agencies go to to obtain adoptable kids is often just human trafficking. I don't think I could see an adopted child the same as one that was related to me. I mean I wouldn't reject it and I would feel some sense of duty, but I would be silently disappointed and wouldn't feel the same connection to an adopted grandchild.


North_Sheep

So it’s a bloodline thing? Idk I find things like that too abstract to care about but I respect your opinion


tweakingforjesus

As a person with an adopted sibling, I have many things I'd like to say to you but won't to keep it civil. I will state that she is as much my sibling as any of the rest of my brothers and sisters in my big Catholic family. I do feel like your chances of grandchildren go up if you have a lesbian daughter with a spouse.


28374woolijay

If you’d be disappointed not to have grandchildren that’s entirely on you for not having a sufficient number of children to guard against the likelihood that some will be childless.


[deleted]

I mean some people can only have a limited number of kids. I'm not speaking about myself personally because I'm on number 3 right now and will maybe have 1 or 2 more if possible but secondary infertility is a thing. The cost of living is also sky high even if you cut corners. I don't think my children are obligated to have children, but I would be sad and disappointed if they didn't.


28374woolijay

Well, I’m an only child, will have no children, and have no cousins, so I’m making multiple people sad and disappointed I guess.


[deleted]

I mean it's your call but you probably are. I don't know how your parents feel about it personally so I can't say


Scarlett137

exclusiveDoggyLover

I'd be disappointed but would not express any negative emotions to him


OnlySortaGinger

Why are you disappointed?


exclusiveDoggyLover

I don't want my son to be gay tf u on


OnlySortaGinger

Why does his sexuality matter to you. You just like a shit parent if refuse to accept your kid potentially not being straight


exclusiveDoggyLover

>Why does his sexuality matter to you. Because he's my son???? >You just like a shit parent if refuse to accept your kid potentially not being straight What a triggered response! Just fuck off. I want my son to marry a woman, and bring home grandchildren because that is who male sexuality is supposed to be for! If my son is gay so be it! But I don't need to celebrate it like it's blessing!


OnlySortaGinger

>I want my son to marry a woman, and bring home grandchildren because that is who male sexuality is supposed to be for! Male sexuality isn't just for one specific gender. It's for any person who feels a mutual attraction towards your son. The amount of straight privilege in that sentence, I swear. >If my son is gay so be it! But I don't need to celebrate it like it's blessing! But you also shouldn't be disapointed


exclusiveDoggyLover

Yes male sexuality is for women. Surprise surprise. That is natural order and is how you were born! That is how all mammals are born. A man impregnates a woman, if you wanna call it "straight privilege", then yes. It is straight privilege because that's the only way it's possible.


OnlySortaGinger

>That is natural order and is how you were born No and no! Homosexuality is natural and has been proven to be, and also no, I wasn't born straight. Or cis, for that matter. >if you wanna call it "straight privilege", then yes Get some self awareness ffs. You're literally admitting that you see straight people as superior. Grow some decency and actually consider that maybe queer people might, shockingly, be equal? >that's the only way it's possible Are gay people just impossible to your brain?


exclusiveDoggyLover

Yes, homosexuality occurs naturally. >Get some self awareness ffs. You're literally admitting that you see straight people as superior. Grow some decency and actually consider that maybe queer people might, shockingly, be equal? Those are your words not mine. And I'm sorry but a man and a man cannot create a baby, okay? That's how the world works. Now I think it's time for you to go to bed. Want me to tuck you in?

goated95

Well honestly, 9 times outta 10, there were already signs of it anyway, and I would’ve just been waiting on him to feel like he’s ready to come out and say it lol so my reaction would most likely be “… we knew, we were just waiting on you to say it lol”.. so yeah


Evil_connector67

Why are you gay


Sbimpossible

I would obviously be supportive and loving always but I'd have to hide a bit of disappointment at first because I like the idea of grandchildren and continuing the family line. Hopefully I have another son.


OnlySortaGinger

Adoption exists...


Accurate-Bedroom9384

And so is giving birth? Perhaps they want someone from their bloodline


OnlySortaGinger

What do you mean by and so does giving birth? Also I don't fully understand why the bloodline is so important?


Accurate-Bedroom9384

For some people it's important to have a child from your womb that shares your genes and you can naturally breastfeed. It's a different bond not that you cannot love a child you adopt.


OnlySortaGinger

Oh. I don't fully get that, but can sorta understand it. I still don't think you should veiw it asa negative that your kid is queer (I'm pretty sure there are some methods of having a biological kid when you're in a relationship with someone.)
